Review text

An electromagnetic PIC plasma simulation code incorporating the implicit moment method and a two-dimensional cylindrical mesh, with r- and z- coordinate dependence, has been developed. The code is an extension of the VENUS code from the original two-dimensional Cartesian mesh. The physical model employed in the code will be discussed, with emphasis on aspects unique to cylindrical geometry. An application to self-generated magnetic fields and electron transport in a laser-irradiated disk is presented that highlights the usefulness of cylindrical coordinates.
